tl;dr my note 2 won't charge from an outlet or PC tested with 4 cables including the stock samsung cable/wall charger
Backstory: I rooted my note 2 a number of months ago, around April, and ran it with the rooted stock firmware. Then, a week ago, my device stopped connecting to my computer (which I believe was a driver issue) and then I somehow managed to soft-brick my device ("Verizon has detected unauthorized software" or something of the like on boot) and then reset it back to unrooted stock android using this guide, specifically section 1b using VRAMC3. It then would boot properly.
Present day: My note 2 won't charge using a wall outlet or a PC. I have only used the out-of-the-box samsung wall outlet, but have tried 4 different cables for each medium including the stock samsung usb cable, and multiple ports on my PC. When I plug the cable in, my device (which is dead) shows a battery with a white arrow in a circle for a few seconds and then goes black. If I try to turn the device on with the power button, it shows the same icon. Before I unrooted my device, it would charge without issue. I left it plugged in overnight and it did not charge at all. It was powered on for an hour or so after I unrooted it and it would not charge during that interval either.
I would assume that the port is bad, but it seems to recognize when I plug in the cable because it shows the battery icon, and the issue only came about after I unrooted it.
Any insight you could provide would be much appreciated.

the charging is run by the i/o drivers in the phone. I would try to odin the phone back to stock root and run a new recovery if you can come across a charged battery.
Similar Issue
I have similar issue as OP. My rooted device with TWRP stopped charging and once it died has become unusable. I have received my replacement device and now have 5 days to return the broken one. I want to return the old device to stock (as possible) before returning it, but even after charging the battery with the replacement device, I cannot communicate with it via USB. So using the Odin mentioned in Q&A section is not possible. I am trying to think of another way to flash a stock recovery and rom to the phone, perhaps by placing the files on the micro sd. I need to get rid of TWRP and return the OS to stock if at all possible. Does anyone have any ideas?
You can use the hidden menu apk and enable the adb through it or send me the snapshot if devise manager after connecting your devise to pc

Same Issue...
I rooted using TWRP and no issues. Then last night plugged my phone in and it did not respond. I tried 6 different cables on different power usb sources as well as the pc with no luck. I happen to have an old note 2 with a cracked screen which I charged and switched batteries. What should I do? When plugged in, it charges for 2 seconds thens stops... Help!

Have been a Streak users since Aug 2010. Currently using DSC 1.1 ROM. Device was working fine until my commute home Monday. I swapped charging sources from the Dell-supplied car charger to an aftermarket one(have done it several time to charge my work BB), and I got a "charger invalid" error. The phone shut off and has stayed the way since despite repeated attempts to power it on. Here's what I've tried:
Removing:
SD Card
SIM
Battery
I've left it on USB power and regular AC overnight in various states of "removal".
I've even installed the new sync software on my laptop to see if that would work.
I've been completely unsuccessful so far. Can't even get into fastboot mode.
Do I just have a fancy paperweight now?
Thanks!

have you tried charging using usb port of notebook ? aftermarket or none branded one usually have prone to damage itself...
i use samsung original charger as an alternative charger though.. and it also a high speed charger...
Yes, have left it on USB power. Won't charge or turn on.
i think the charging port of streak must have spoiled... but.. how bout trying with another same type usb cable?

Have you cleared the battery stats from within Streakmod recovery?
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Resetting the battery stats would be a good place to check, but I can't even turn the thing on.
Strange.... unless you shorted something out there's no reason for you not to be able to boot into recovery or fastboot

Interesting. Before I start googling, have any of you seen a pinout of that 30-pin connector?
Could that "charger invalid" error really short out the whole thing? #sad
I am having a problem with my Galaxy S3 when plugged into USB. It wont recognize the USB connection via laptop or charge via laptop or Samsung charger. Tried three official Samsung cables and chargers, 2 computers, and still nothing. The only time it recognizes anything is when the phone is in Download Mode. In which I can restore firmware and everything else. However, no matter what firmware I put, it still will not recognized the USB or charge. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
There are different drivers that need to be installed. As it recognizes the download mode seems like CDC driver is installed, but if you download kies, it should install all the necessary drivers automatically. Did you try it with a different computer? If this doesn't help then your last option is to factory reset.
Hope this helps

Downloaded Kies. Has all the correct drivers. Tried two different computers. Have two Galaxy S3's, swapped out batteries. Both batteries are good in one phone. The other phone just wont recognize USB or charge in any situation. Factory reset it 3 times. Cleared everything off the phone. Didnt change anything. Factory ROM no kernel hacks or anything. Cables are genuine Samsung that came with the phone. Used mine and my friend's cable for his S3. When you plug the phone in when the power is off, u can see the battery, but then the screen goes black and doesnt charged. Also we charged up both batteries fully using one good S3 proving both batteries are good. Im out of ideas..Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!! :laugh:

Well if you say, that you did a full wipe, just curious that after factory reset did you restored it from a backup or started new. I recommend start new. Even if this doesn't help than it definitely seems a hardware problem. Get it checked.
Just wanted to share. I had a Iphone 4s and suddenly it stopped charging through a wall charger and used to charge through a usb, after numerous restores I got it checked and there seems the problem.

Started brand new. Didnt restore from any backups or anything. Didnt root it at all. It seems as whatever the firmware that it uses for charging just stopped working...Im at a dead end...its funny because there isnt any topics online with a single similar symptom.
I have the same problem..
It doesn't give any notice when i plug it into the computer,
when i charge it the screen gives a grey battery loading picture
and then just turns black.. i can still acces download mode and use odin..
which makes it really strange..
it would be great if someone knows how to solve this
Thx in advance!

I have the exact same problem on my note 2, have been searching everywhere but cant seem to find an answer.
First of all hello xda, long time reader, first time poster.
I know it's been a long time since the last post, but instead of starting a new thread i suppose it's better to post here.
I got the same problem a few weeks ago and tried everything software-wise and still nothing. I noticed that when i turn my phone on i get a notification "USB connector connected" which leads me to believe that something is keeping the connector busy and unable to charge/connect exept when in d/l mode. Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'd like to try and fix it myself before taking it in for repair.

I have exact same problem. Seemed to occur out of the blue. I took it off the car charger and everything appeared as normal until the next day I go to charge it with wall charger and no response, except for the grey battery image appearing for 2 seconds when and only when powered off and plugging in the charger. Tried many cables/chargers to no avail. There is also no response connecting to a PC, when the phone is on.
For the moment I can charge the battery(s) with an external charger and still use my phone.
I made a simple USB cable current monitor once to measure current consumption of portable devices. Just a 0.1ohm resistor in series with the USB V_BUS (+5V) pin. Since this fault occurred, the V_BUS pin current after plugging in the charger, starts off 250mA for few seconds while the grey battery image appears then the phone shuts down with a 5mA residual current. Clearly the battery is not being charged. Previous to the fault, V_BUS current during full charge is around 950mA. I'm sure its a hardware problem.

Hi there
I am from India and I have bought a Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-I747 16GB Blue unlocked T-Mobile phone with 2GB RAM on line from Ebay. The phone is working fine till I put it in to washing machine. After 10 mints I came to know the phone is in the washing machine and I took it out and removed the battery open the parts, wiped the water and keep the phone in the sunlight by covering my kerchief around 2 hours. After 12 hours I have set the parts and put the phone in to the charger. Immediately I have received the message "Charging paused. Battery temperature is low" message. Any how I keep the phone in the charger and connected it to USB of the PC more than 8 hours and finally it charged. The audio speaker and mic is not working but hear speaker is working after fell in to water.But the battery backup was not there and battery drained in hour. Then I have buy one combatable battery and using it. It is also not long lasting and stand by only 4 hours even without using the phone.
On the other part I try to upgrade to JB 4.2.2. I rooted the phone successfully. First I have taken backup of the OEM ROM and tried with upgrading to JB 4.2.2 with cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M3. It's failed. Then I tried with aokp_d2att_jb-mr1_build-6. It's installed and working fine. But it's not JB4.2.2. Then I searched for compatible another ROM and fine Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. I have reflashed with procedure and installed Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. It's working fine but "google play store" is not working. Then I tried with another ROM CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. It is also working fine but not JB 4.2.2. In between I have restored the OEM from backup two times. The I found Samsung I9300XXUFME3_I9300OJKFME1_ILO. tried with this is not installed. Then I revert to CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. Then I found Liquid-JB-v2.4-OFFICIAL-l900 and installed it. The installation is completed and when I restarted the phone nothing happened and I have waited for 1/2 hour. After that phone is even not powering on. I tried by removing battery and keep the phone idle for hours, insert the USB cable with PC and removed the battery and re inserted it. Nothing happened. No power indicator light is shown and I removed the battery and inserted the USB with connected PC. While inserting the USB cable, the power indicator is just flashing. But the phone is either not charging nor power on. Please help me to get ride of this problem.

Yep, I'm having another round of issues on my One.
Just some information:
Running stock ROM, bootloader locked (not "relocked"), S/N HT346(...), Quick boot OFF, previously sent in for repair.
I believe this has been brought up before, but here I go:
I pulled the phone off the charger this morning with a full charge. However, Car mode unexpectedly opened up. I found this odd, since I'm running a stock AT&T ROM using the Sense launcher, which means Car mode is nowhere to be found. The device also reported using an "incorrect charger" or some other thing. I use the charger that came in the box with my phone. I assumed it was a mistake.
However, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to brush it off and went on with my day.
Usage patterns normal, maybe with a bit more GPS and camera use than usual, but more or less a normal day.
Come back home, plug it in. Phone will not charge. I do not believe it's a hardware issue. Why?
Troubleshooting time:
Plugged into another outlet, will not charge.
Switched wall warts. Will not charge (I have a few from older HTC phones and a few from other Android devices).
Switched USB cables. Will not charge (tried combo-ing with wall warts, same result).
Plugged into PC. Will not charge AND does not recognize USB connection (both ends). Tried with several different cables, no dice.
Rebooted, no dice. Did it again (and several times after that), no cigar.
Safe mode: Nope.
What works?
Connect via fastboot works (so "FASTBOOT USB" works)
It WILL charge when powered off.
Now, as the title states, I noticed the LED blinking when the phone is powered off and plugged in via AC or USB.
The orange LED will light up for ~6 seconds, dim down (to the level of brightness that would be considered "normal" for the phone) for ~6 seconds, then turn off. The process repeats after the LED turns off for about 5 seconds.
Any ideas on why this could have happened (including my own stupidity) and what I can do to solve this problem? I'm going to send it in to HTC if nothing gets it working again (and has it stay that way).

My HTC One will only charge when the phone is off, not sure at all why this is. It was unlocked and has the stock rom on it, but it fails to recognize the device completely, when it is turned on and plugged into the wall or a usb port on my computer.
The phone however, will be recognized via fastboot and will charge either through AC or USB. I successfully was able to fastboot and push cm 10.2 on it. Still remains the same problem as before.
I cleaned the port out of the bottom to free it of dust and debris but no luck.
The phone itself will have a solid red charging light for 6 seconds, then it turns into a dim red light for 8 seconds, the led then turns off for 5 seconds and then the cycle repeats. The phone can only charge to 99% and never will show a green light for it fully charged, even after 2 days on the charge.
What the heck is the problem? I have read too many issues in regards to this and HTC has no acknowledged this one bit.
Do I have to replace the USB charging port? I ask that since my bootloader is unlocked.
Seems that on a clean restart and on airplane mode, the phone can't even hold a day charge from 25%..
My device started doing the same out of the blue. All was working fine untill about an hour ago. Now my device will not charge while the device is on. And no usb cable is being detected.
SOLUTION>>>?????
